Resenting your New Year gym resolutions already? First week in and we're struggling. Hard. But it's good to know the A-listers share the very same trials and tribulations as the rest of us. And with the hilarious workout snap Adele shared on Instagram yesterday, we're starting to feel a lot less guilty about our lack of motivation.

Summing up exactly how we feel about working our bottoms off in the gym this month, Adele – in her true tongue-in-cheek style – revealed to her fans just how dedicated she is to her new fitness regime. We think it's safe to say we can all just about relate to that pained expression as soon as our eyes catch even a glimpse of the dreaded treadmill.

In fact, the only motivation we've experienced so far during our so-called 'New Year fitness plan' is the overwhelming urge to run to the supermarket and buy the leftover giant Christmas Toblerones in our shiny new running trainers.

Adele's mammoth 2016 tour kicks off in February, so the songstress has decided to hit the gym, but judging by this comical photo, she's sharing the same enthusiasm as the rest of us.

The tour follows the release of Adele's new record-breaking album 25, which has swiftly become the biggest-selling album in the UK of all time, despite only being released in November.

After selling out in record time, the demand for tickets to her forthcoming tour was so huge that 12 extra dates were added. She will be performing at London's O2 Arena for a succession of eight nights from March 15 to March 22, before heading off across the pond to perform in a number of US venues over the summer.

Sadly the tickets have sold out in most UK venues, although there are still some available in Glasgow, Belfast and Dublin.

You can also look forward to seeing Adele perform at the Brit awards later this year. We wonder if she'll still be hitting the gym then? It's highly likely we won't be — Toblerone anyone?
